Emma says: Me when my tics are bad!

This is me not thinking about the video, just in my "natural state" when my tics are bad. My vocal tics aren't swears, sometimes I have a tic where I say "yeah" - not a swear just to make that clear!! :)
Love,
Emma

I have eye tics, throat tightening, scrunching my eyebrows down, grumbling, finger squeezing and constantly having to move my toes into a "Ball shape" if that's how you say, So I picked up smoking cigarettes 4 years ago and It helps calm them down for a bit sometimes.

@InfurnusChaotix Personally, I would never try smoking cigarettes, as in the long run it will just cause way more health problems than it can "fix." Also, the only reason cigarettes calm you down, is because when you're smoking them, you take a break from everything for a few minutes, go outside, and take like 20 deep breaths. Let's just say that it's not the nicotene that's helping your tics!! :)

im glad im not the only one.... i have ticks in my head, wrist, arm, eyes and jaw... it just makes my tired... The thing that really helps me is not thinking about it i like to sing, dance or watch tv for a little but if your tired you should take a nap or just go to bed, because im always on the computer 24/7 and i stay up till 1 am on my ipod, watching tv, on my cell phone or ipod... sometimes i just need to take a brake... dont worry,.. im here with you :)

@CowboysGirl11 I'm glad you can relate! Thanks for the sweet comment, it means a lot to me :) I agree with not thinking about it... It certainly does help when you aren't forced to try and control them and you can just relax and be yourself!

Hey Emma, a very dear friend of mine suffers from normally subtle, yet sometimes severe facial tics that have been diagnosed as Tourettes and your explaination of "What a tic feels like" was almost EXACTLY how he described it to me. Anyway, your a very beautiful girl. Remember, your symptoms don't define you, and the strength of character it takes to reveal your affliction to the world via youtube is a virtue that's incredibly rare and quite admirable. I hope your doing well . Jay

@subtrefuge28 Hi Jay,

Thanks so much, you're so sweet! I'm really glad I can help describe what a tic feels like in a way that others can relate to :) Thanks again for the sweet comment :)

All pretty standard tics associated with the syndromes (TTS, Tourettes). Side note, you're very pretty. :)

One of my friends has Tourettes. She has head tics where she throws her head back a lot, she blinks her eyes constantly, and pushes her fingers beside her nose and onto her glasses. First, it was very uncomfortable to be around her, but I got used to it. I couldn't imagine being her; going to school and doing all that she does. She doesn't even seem to sweat it. She is a strong person.

You are so brave to put this video on Youtube, too. I enjoy all of your videos.

People need to be educated. <3
